Both Sides Now

Melanie C From the album Stages

Written by
Joni Mitchell
Album
Stages

Rose and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at cloud that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
l’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions, I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
And you leave ’em laughing when you go, and if you care
Don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away
l’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions, that I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears
I’m feeling proud to say, “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
Oh, but now old friends are acting strange
And they shake their heads, and they tell that
I’ve changed Something’s lost, but something’s gained in living every day
l’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose, but still somehow
It’s life’s illusions, I recall
I really don’t know life
I really don’t know life at all
I really don’t know life

It’s life illusion, I recall
I really don’t know life at all
